MILITARY MATTERS.
The Annual State Encampment-
An Erroneous Impression
Norraota6


The Houston Post made double
loaded announcement a day or two ago,
that a majority of the military
companies in the state, having
voted in favor of Houston. Adiutant Gen
eral King had ordered the annual en-
compliment to be held in that city. This
is incorrect, in at least one very material
particularly To STATESMAN reporter
General King said yesterday that, as there
is no appropriation out of which the
state can pay for holding an
encampment, he could not issue any or
ders in the matter. In other words, the
authority of the state in the premises, is
advisory and not mandatory, except as to
the appointment of officers to take charge
of the camp, which will be made by the
governor.
In this connection the following circu-
lar, just issued, is given as fully explain
ing the situation:

CIRCULAR.

CIRCULAR:
TO prevent miscoaception and confusion, it is
deemed necessary to announce that this depart
ment has not selected, and will not select, the
place for an encamFment this year, and as between
the cities of Houston, Paris and LamPasas each
of which Is making efforts to secure the presence OF
the military the troops themselves will be left to
decide Paris proposes an Interstate drill, COM
mencing June 7th and offers large money prizes,
with camp accemm odations, but the soldiers will
be expected to pay their own expenses. Houston
proposes strictly estate Hncampmeut," ample
accommodations and provisions free to the sol
diers money prizes but less In amount than those
at Paris. and low rate of transportation by rail-
| This enoampment TO be held from 2lst to 25th of
| June. Lampasas elso proposes, as far as known,
| to have "a state eDcampment near the middle OF
July, and designs to feed the troops without
charge, but offers no prize except medals. Moth
ing is k9own as to special rates by rail to Lam
| pasas.
This Is to give notice, therefore, that all white
militia organizations in Texas, armed and In uni
FORM are authorized to attend at either all of the
places herein named, and to remain and take part
in any and all drills reviews, parades, or other
military exercises required during euch encamp-
ment or interstate drill. The attendance herein
authorized will be voluntary the part of all mil
itary organizations, and will not therefore, author
ize any claim against the state for pay, but 1t is
expected and required that all officers and men,
bers of the militia who participate In any of these
encampments shall be under proper CONTROL and
responsive to all necessary discipline and orders
Officers Of the Volunteer Guard will be selected by
the governor to command the camps.
BY order of the governor and commander-in-
chief w. II. KING,
Adjutant- General.
1t is understood that Lampasas will
withdraw her efforts to secure the en-
campment, the principal drawback being
the difficulties attending the transporta-
ton of troops. There being but one rail
road to the town, low rate of fare could
not be obtained, and this, added to the
expense of transferring at Temple, and
again from the depot at Lampasas
to the camp ground, caused many
panies to decide against
that place. There is no question but
that the grounds at Lampases are superior
to those at Houston, but the other advan-
tages at the latter place tipped the beam
against the Spring city.
General King is taking great deal of
interest in the movement of the state
troops, and says he wishes it were 80 that
the three encampments could be we'll
attended. AS they cannot, however,
he hopes to see one of them a success.

The continued success of the Thistle on tho
other side increases the respect which is here
felt for her 1t is conceded that she may win.
That much was never conceded in the case OF tho
Gaatea. II she wins what then? 1t will reopen
the controversy to which is faster, the keel or
the centre-board. Some time ago 1t was supposed
that that question was definitely settled in favor
of the centre board. Now 1t cannot be considered
settled until the Thistle has been met. OF course
IL she proves victorious 1t will not follow that
centre board boat cannot be built to beat her.
1t will prove only that the question has yet to b
settled. And it will stimulate the investigation
and experiment which must finally evolve tho

can yachtsmcn may congratulate themselves uponS
Their common sense has saved them from q
slavish following Of an extreme type of boat.
They might have become the victims of the

Lloyd Phoenix, who is now in British waters
with the schooner Intrepid. intends while theirs
to make special investigation into AUXILIARY
screw schooners with view of purchasing one
or getting one built for himself when he returns
These auxiliary screw vessels are exceedingly
popular in England as cruising yachts but tire
are few of them here. They have large spread
of canvas, and when sailing the screw is, o.
course lifted out of the water They are not
designed to steam fast, but have sufficient horse
power to propel them at comfortable rate when

the delights of sailing without being left com.
pletely at the mercy Of tickle winds.
II there are not many American yachts entered
for the Jubilee Regatta at Halifax it will not be
the fault of f. G.. Smchrast, the representative
of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, who
was recently in New-York The invitation to
American yachtsmen to participate in the regatta
amounts practically to a request to come and walk
off with the prizes. For it is admitted that there
are no yachts in Canadian waters which can suo-
cessfully compete with the crack American sloops.
Under the circumstances Mr. Smchrast has been
exceedingly generous in consulting the convenience
of American yachtsmen about the dates for tho
regattas The races will take place on August
lS and r. next. He assures american yachtsmen
that they "may depend on receiving q very warn
